@multi-fandom-art
just to let anyone new here know, if you are followed by @selfindulgentfandomstuff, that’s me, just my cringe ass blog instead hahaha
unfortunately, I had the brilliant idea of making that one my main blog and this one the side blog.
because I’m smart like that. /j
Heavenly Violence
The prevailing theory, at the moment, is that the universe is just shy of 14 billion years old.
Give or take a few million years.
Since its explosive birth, the universe, has known, first and foremost, violence.
It is subjective, to be sure, but what is violence,
If not the cusp at which creation and destruction meet?
The notion that violence can only exist as destruction is a misguided one
Since the beginning of time, violence has fueled creation.
The first stars to illuminate the void of an infant universe, were borne of violence,
Atoms colliding and releasing vast amounts of energy allow stars to live
The stars breathe violence.
But, you know, violence also enables destruction.
Violence allows for the annihilation of entire worlds beyond our own,
destroyed by their stellar caretakers as they rage outwards.
Stars that engulf their celestial children in their natural progression of life.
Even as they die, some stars do so violently, in massive supernovae, they obliterate heavenly bodies for hundreds of miles around.
Their death brings the death of countless others.
Even in their dying breaths,
the stars breathe violence.

hey i was looking at ur scene will post again bc its fucking beautiful and i noticed in the tags that u mentioned will having a fursona and i gotta say youre so right. he SHOULD be a furry. im now constantly thinking about an au where will starts getting random really good art of his fursona sent to him. he has no ideas whos making it and has to team up w his friend, Dr. Hurryartist Lecter to find the mysterious artist. also i think if we ignore the obvious for will and hannibal's fursonas (dog and stag ) that will would be a capybara and hannibal would be a hairless cat. anyway i love your posts. keep on keeping on
i will not be taking questions at this time
vent
I’m working really hard on something right now and I’m not the best at it, but I’m decent, decent enough to be in the position where I can work on said project anyway. But, whenever I post stuff about my progress, it always seems overshadowed very quickly compared to when others post about their progress. Its stupid, I know, but I just get the sense that no one really cares that much about what I have to give. I’m reasonably sure I’m just a way to get extra grunt work done and that nobody actually wanted me around in the first place. anyways, long story short, I’m sad and feel worthless right now. Well, more than usual I guess.
Where shall we begin?
I know we always focus on Will’s hot new murder seduction look in this scene, but can we talk about how RIDICULOUS Hannibal’s outfit is
It’s like he saw that zippy hounds tooth sweater thing in his closet and thought ‘Ah well I’m going to dress like a normal person today’ but then decided to spiff up the look by putting on a nice shirt and a tie underneath
Hannibal we can only see an inch of that tie what are you doing
He looks like the president of the regional Angora bunny breeders club. He looks like the head of a private boys school where the students are required to wear oddly shaped hats. He looks like an eccentric dad who doesn’t allow his kids to watch TV because it ‘dulls the mind’. He looks EXACTLY like the kind of man who’d own a harpsichord.
He’s ridiculous. I love him so much
@carrioncrowned ”He looks like the president of the regional Angora bunny breeders club” this is so specific but so ACCURATE I will never look at this ludicrous ensemble the same way again. Tell me there’s more of your commentary on Hannibal’s fashion choices, I Need it.
Oh you want me to continue making fun of Hannibal Lecter’s fashion sense? Don’t mind if I diddly do. Let’s start with a softball.
Looks like a downright sensible suit, right? Right until the moment that you notice that he’s wearing - a plaid suit - a paisley tie - a striped shirt - a goddamn polka dot pocket square all at the same time. He is the Lord of Patterns. When Dr. Hannibal Lecter, MD gets dressed in the morning he picks his clothes from his meticulously organized walk in closet and makes sure that is wearing no less than three different patterns. There are emergency patterned pocket squares in his glove box. There are rumors in the psychiatric circles that Dr. Lecter induced a seizure in a patient once with his tie alone.
Remember that time in Potage when he went for that SAME zippy jacket / suit and tie combination again, but it wasn’t extra enough because sweater wasn’t patterned so he put a plaid jacket on top to balance it out?
I do. Good times.
He looks like the kind of guy who owns three yachts but never actually uses them because the salty sea air would ruin his hair. He is a harmless eccentric man. He does not brutally kill and cannibalize people.
Hannibal is very soft and tired. Look, Will, he’s wearing a robe. You woke him up, he needs coffee. He is also, inexplicably, wearing a pressed white dress shirt. Maybe he sleeps in it. Maybe the shirt has become one with his being. Every time he tries to remove another layer, a different shirt appears underneath. He will never be rid of it.
Well hello there Jack Skellington! Hannibal hasn’t seen his layer wearing plaid loving soulmate in months, so the pattern are getting a little bit crazy. This is what happens when you figure out your kidnapped fake wino wife has better hair than you, and you try to peacock your way out of it by making sure no one’s gonna be able to take their eyes off you all evening. The high society members are staring in abject horror. Children are crying. Dr. Fell’s suit is Dante Alighieri’s inner circle of hell, tailored in suspiciously shiny, possibly even velvet fabric. They envy his dedication.
Look, Hannibal, even the guy who literally only has two pairs of pants and one good suit jacket is judging the hell out you for that look.
If anyone wants to add their favorite Hannibal looks, please please do.
@carrioncrowned I love this !!!! Hannibal IS ridiculous and I love this bastard too. Special mention to his Entree (1x06) blue shirt, that according to Prop Store Auction details ,has a frogs silhouettes pattern and Contorno (3x05) shirt with landscape pattern: mountains, waves, boat and clouds….he was probably bought it pining for his Will. I love those littlle details, how nearly all his season 1 and 2 shirts had his initials and that he made that white and pretty shirt for Will (in Dolce) with WG initials.
Reblog because it’s getting better and better. :D
@carrioncrowned. It’s red. It’s grey. It’s got wide stripes and thin stripes. It’s got a flowered tie. And a double breasted vest with double jacket pockets.
Oh my god we need to talk more about that tie though. He apparently likes it enough to wear it more than once, this is just one of the pictures I found featuring Flower Paisley Silk Tie:
I can’t focus on anything beyond the scope of his chest area - which isn’t unusual, granted, but this time it’s because his tie demands my full attention. This is the starting point of Hannibal indulging in Liberace aesthetics. This is what elderly ladies of the bourgeoisie wear to bed. This is a chemise refashioned into a tie. I could go on. On the topic of strange ties, however:
Someone with a less pressing case of full-blown narcissism would likely have thought twice about this outfit. Can I pull off this level of blinding orange, I might have thought. And along with this dizzying wide array of patterns, no less. But Hannibal Lecter does not feel pasty. Hannibal Lecter goes orange on orange and calls it a day.
Here we have an outfit that literally cracks me up because it’s like he’s trying so hard to be normal. This Hannibal is a far cry from decadent ringmaster Jack Skellington couture. This Hannibal is a mortal in tan. This Hannibal has hair falling humanly in his eyes. Now, finally:
The notorious Ushanka style hat. I don’t know the English word for it; the colloquial Swedish term would be björnfitta (”bear cunt”, literally. yeah I know) How? Why? I was mystified for the longest time, then I remembered that Hannibal was once part of the French Communist party. Ignoring the fact that timelines don’t add up in this version of Hannibal, he may have been feeling nostalgic. Comrade Lecter may have wanted some snazzy Soviet influences in his life.
This is getting better and better guys, keep it up. I have another one, because Loud Red Suit has a cousin, Flashy Blue Suit.
It features yet another flower paisley silk tie, because why wouldn’t the Lord of the Patterns use the opportunity to add another ridiculous pattern to his already eccentric outfit. Here they are right next to each other.
Hannibal’s lucky he’s so pretty, because I am reasonably sure no one but Mads Mikkelsen could ever pull this off without looking like a history professor on LSD.
literally the funniest scene in Hannibal is when that dude is like “I am proof that therapy works. I’m normal now.” And then executes somebody in his fursuit
AAAaaahhh
just got accepted to be a part of the Hannibal: The Musical production team!!! I’m so excited!!! :D

[…] will likes landscapes, hannibal has come to learn. unsurprisingly, he likes forests, the vivid european forests. he’s always had a soft spot for american painters too, because their country is visible in every brush stroke, and he grew up breathing the same air as them - hannibal gets that. the americans are good at making you feel nostalgia for something you never lived, he can’t imagine how it must appeal to him, who lived there all his life. and what hannibal sees when looking at portraits, will sees it too, what hannibal sees in mythological, biblical, he sees it too. he sees it all because he’s worth the effort, of course, and because he’s intelligent and actually interesting, and because he understands.
but the forests beckon him. something in camille corot’s trees makes him stop and stare for reasons hannibal does not get, not entirely. a sense of acknowledgement, maybe. this, and the americans ; there are things will feels from art that hannibal does not.
and it infuriates him. it makes him want to chew faster. it reminds him they’re separate people. it’s a little end of the world every time.
hannibal falling for will and then immediately framing him for murder is the serial killer equivalent of that one tweet, u know the one
Jack and his beautiful Bella
After I watched season 3 gag reel, I kind of feel sad for the scene when Bella walks into the church. Maybe it’s because of the BGM…Idk……. :(
hannibal waited 3 years for will. like i know he probably had a life sentence or w/e but three years?! just sitting there in his stupid little jumpsuit like “will’s coming 😌” to the guards every morning and they were like “sure doctor lecter..now let’s get you breakfast” for three whole years
imagine how terrified hannibal must have been between leaving for italy and freddie lounds posting the photo of will graham alive on tattlecrime.
the waves of ‘what if i killed him. what if the doctors weren’t good enough. no one else but me is good enough.’
Thinking bout the fic I read where the doctors weren’t able to save Will 👁👄👁
Let’s talk about empathy. The character most associated with empathy is obviously Will Graham, and this empathy is one of his most attractive qualities to various characters for a variety of reasons. Alana and Chilton have a professional curiosity about him, Jack views it as a useful tool in stopping the most violent criminals he faces, and it is one of the main reasons Hannibal falls in love with him because it allows him to be seen and understood in ways no one else has before. In some ways, Hannibal actually loves Will for one of the qualities that set them apart.
The few times he does it, Will kills to exact righteous vengeance on men who deserve it. He kills Hobbs with ten gunshots but quickly enough that he dies on the spot. Randall too is punched immediately to death. He helps Hannibal kill Dolarhyde through massive blood loss by gutting him. His aim is death, not suffering. He isn’t interested in ritualistic murder like Dolarhyde or prolonged suffering like some of the other murderers on the show (think of the Muralist or Eldon Stammets whose victims live for a long time despite mutilation).
On the other hand, Hannibal is diametrically opposed to Will when it comes to empathy. If Will is an empath, then Hannibal is a sadist. Hannibal, despite all his talk of being an ethical butcher, removes organs from his victims while they’re still living. He is a sadist, he enjoys manipulating others and worsening their suffering for his own enjoyment. People aren’t people to him - they’re pigs and he treats them as such, subhuman pawns to do with as he likes. He can play with them and he can make art with them and he can eat them.
But Hannibal is keenly interested in Will’s empathy, and is interested in engaging with it, even if it is on a superficial level. In 2x01 Kaiseki, with Will incarcerated in the BSHCI, Hannibal gets called to help the FBI as a consultant. Hannibal, who never ever considers the thought processes or viewpoints of others outside how they can impact his plans and designs, willingly and almost giddily tries to inhabit Will. Of course, this serves a dual purpose as he also ingratiates himself within the FBI and becomes even more of an ally to Jack, but there is a part of him that loves it. There’s something euphoric in being the only man to empathise with the man who empathises with others, something beautiful about understanding the only man who understands you.
Now let’s talk about pain. We see Will in pain a lot and he expresses that as the most of us would - he sounds like the physical hurt is an anguish. His distress is evident, he feels and he feels acutely. Conversely, Hannibal doesn’t react to getting crucified other than concern over being strangled, barely reacts to being burned on the back and branded like a pig, and looks shocked as he is shot, only breathing a little heavily afterwards. But look at his face when Will gets stabbed by Francis Dolarhyde.
This right here, this snarl of pain, it’s not for him. It’s for Will. For the first time in his life, Hannibal truly empathises with someone else. It’s not even a conscious choice like in Kaiseki nor does it serve any other purpose; it’s completely involuntary. He feels Will’s pain right here - it’s not superficial, it’s instinctual. And while he had been unwilling to fight against the Dragon for his own sake, this moment of pain motivates him enough to get up off the ground and get him off of Will, even though he is grievously injured.
Think about that for a second. A man defined by his own self proclaimed inability to see other human beings as people, who treats the suffering of others as something to be studied clinically and exploited for his own purposes, is empathising with the love of his life because after everything, he cannot stand to see him in pain.
It’s not a redemption arc - Hannibal is beyond redemption and even if he wasn’t, he’s not looking to be redeemed. He likes who he is. But it is about the humanising power of love, specifically how love can take a man like Hannibal Lecter and make him experience the same human emotions that everybody else does. Make him smile when Will does, make him feel nourishment at the very sight of him, make him wince when Will is stabbed. Love can make monsters of us all, but it can make a human out of Hannibal Lecter.
